Rehabilitation regime of children with movement disorders such as Cerebral Palsy, and other related diseases have been one of the major area of interest. It is believed that with proper rehabilitation plans or regimes, the overall Quality of Life (QoL) of these children will be improved in the means of joint mobility, and overall movement generated. Hence, the main intention was to develop a hybrid...
An extensive variety of wellbeing frameworks had been introduced in modern vehicles a decade ago. Traction control, auto-braking, and anti-sleep systems are significant innovations that are presumed to be superior over human reaction. However, accident rates in Malaysia have yet to be fully reduced. In fact, in 2013, nearly one million enlisted vehicles were involved in road accidents, with damages...
This paper describe the design and development of Upper Extremities Powered Exoskeleton of Four-Degree of Freedom (4 DOF) which is developed utilizing the McKibben Artificial Muscles. Such systems will be useful in the field of rehabilitation, and provides additional strength in lifting capabilities to ordinary individuals. Main purposes of the system are to rehabilitate post-stroke individual, and...
This paper describes the design and development of a cost-effective (development cost of USD 300) human motion analysis system for children with movement disorders. Developed system consists of a Microsoft Kinect™ camera system, wearable force insole system, and data acquisition system. The system is capable of datalogging, and analysing kinematics, and kinetics parameters of gait. Real-time kinematics...
IEEE Educational Activities has launched Engineering Projects in Community Service (EPICS)?a program that enables university and high school students to work on engineering-related projects for local humanitarian organizations. The purpose of this program is to empower Student Branches as well as IEEE Graduates of the Last Decade groups to work with high school students on community-related engineering...
The usage of pneumatic artificial muscle in rehabilitation robotics has increased in recent years. As locomotion training is proven to be a highly effective approach, a power assisted knee-ankle-foot orthosis (KAFO) with pneumatic artificial muscle is proposed. McKibben pneumatic artificial muscle (MPAM) is chosen in this project due to its ease of fabrication. Design requirement of the prototype...
Assessment of Cerebral Palsy generally utilized 3-Dimensional Gait Analysis (3DGA) to determine gait deviations. Such analyses require dedicated laboratory setup which is not easily accessible, and portable. This project proposes a wearable system to provide such analysis without requiring a dedicated 3D gait laboratory and will enable analyses to be performed in daily life. The system composed of...
Locomotion training has proven to be a highly effective approach to assist patients in recovering their normal walking patterns. A pneumatically-actuated orthosis will improve gait rehabilitation significantly by providing a stable, accurate and precise lower extremities motion. This paper presents the design and development of a knee ankle foot orthosis (KAFO) powered by pneumatic artificial muscles...
